Well indeed they're not.. Both are space/sci-fi obsessed as a rule, often derive their potency from the mesmerizing effect of continual repetion of slowly changing patterns (cf Steve Reich), and rarely impinge themselves on the mainstream press. Differences being, of course, a somewhat variant BPM, and generally mutually exclusive audiences who don't know what their missing. Does anyone know a record shop where you'd find `The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra' next to `777' and all those wonderful Suns of Arqa records (which are definitely IDM to me)? Geoff X.
